Be it known that ll, JESSE G. VINCENT, a citizen of'the United States,`and resident of Detroit, Wayne County, 'State of Michigan,

have invented certain new and useful lmprovernents lin lHydrocarbonMotors, of which the following is a specicatlon.

This invention relates to hydrocarbon vmotors and particularly to theconstruction and arrangement ofthe intake conduit and the heatingjackets therefor.

, Une of the objects of the invention is to provide a motor intake pipeor conduit .with j acketing Ineans that w1 l insure heating all parts ofthe ipe.

Another object of the invention is to provide a'sectional intake'pipewith interconnected water jackets so that all of the sections ofthe pipema be heated.

Other' objects of t e invention 'will appear from the followingdescription' taken in connection with the drawings, which form .va

part of'this'specitioation, and in whichofF' .the cylinders of ahydrocar L ninotor illustrated is a six-cylinder motor -though parts ofonly tive cylinders are shown in the drawings, the other parts be- Fig.1 isa plan view of a hydrocarbon motor embodying the invention j Fig. 2is a part sectional and part elevation 'of the motor shown in Fig. 1;' fFig. 3 is an venlarged section on'- thev line 3'-3 of Fig. 2;

Fig. 4 is an enlarged section on the line of Fig-.2; .and Fig. 5 is anenlarged section on the l1ne 5--5 of Fig.' 1 and on both of the 'lines 55 2. a Reerring tothe drawin 10 represents n motor. The

'in broken away.

4.Fach of the cylinders is water 'acketed and an outlet pipe is shown at11,-t is ip bein near the top rof the cylinder'. of t e cylinders isalso formed with a pair of inlet elbows 12 in which the yinlet ports areformed. 'llhe exhaust elbows andA ports are not shown in the drawings.All of these.V

are on the other side of the cylinders and elbows and ports are alsoarranged at the top of the cylinders.

The inlet ports ofthe cylinders are fed by an inlet conduit or pipewhich 1s shown as formed in three separate .sectlons, two upper sections13 and a lower section 14 to which the carburetor l5 isconnected. Fachofthe' water Howing` 13, wlll receive of the sections 13 isformedwithshort pi e extenslons 16 which are connected to t e nssrenoiaTo Eaennmj Tao'ron can. ooTT- Y elbows 12 above described. Eachlof thesections is also formed with a water jacket space 17 preferably on twowallsof 'the conduit as' shown particularly in Figs. 3

and 5. Short pipe extensions 18 from -lthe jacketv 17 connect with'theoutlet pipes-11" from the cylinders sothat all of the water from theackets of the cylinders enters these jackets 17 of the conduit sections13.

@ne of the sections 13 is -provided with a water outlet 19 from thejacket 17 and this outlet is adapted to be connectedl to a radiator orother suitable means for coolmg is, of course, pumped back to the `motor`ylinders in the usual way so that a comete circulation is maintained.The intake conduit section 14 is also provided with a water jacket,indicated at 20, this also being on nected to the sectionsv 13 as. bythebolts 21.

'llhus the carburetor 15 connects through the main passage ofthe-section 14 with the main passes to theinotor cylinders.y Each of thejackets 17 of the conduit sec- Lsaid rig. 5 be ing a section on both ofthe lines 5--5 of Fi 2. iIt is also shown in Fig. 1 where one of t esections 13'is cut away 1n the lower left-hand corner of the figure.

It will be seen that with an outlet to the radiator from only one of thesections 13 all from the 'three cylindersv into the jacket-.of theleft-hand section 13 ,must of necessity How through the commuvtwo wallsvas shown 'in Fig. 4, and the section is detachablyfconassages of thetwo sections 13 and from the atter sectlons the combustible mixture 8.5I tions 13 is in communication with the jacket nicating assage 22, thejacket 20 -and then through t e communicating passage 22 to the jacketof the right-hand section 13. This is leaving out of consideration forthe moment a secondary passage between the two sections 13 which will'be hereinafter referred to. Thus the section 14, even though it is muchlower down than the inlets to the'sections oughly heat it and thusassist vin vaporizing sucient hot water tov thor-V the mlxture passingthrough the 'intake pipe.

As an auxiliary pr safety outlet a pipe connectlon 23 providedv from theupper part of the jacket 17 of the left-hand conduit sec tion 13 to thejacket 17 of the right-hand conduit section 13,. Thus in case of anexcess of water in the left-,hand section some of it will pass out atthe top` of the jacket and into the jacket of' the right-hand section.The normal flow, however, will still be through the jacket 20 of thesection 14.

While I have herein described in some detail a specifcembodment of myinvention, which 1 deem to be new and advantageousl and may specificallyclaim, I do not desire it to be understood that my invention is limitedto the exact details of the construction, as it will be apparent thatchanges may be made therein without departing from the spirit or scopeof my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent is:

1. In a hydrocarbon motor the combination with the waterjacketed'rcylinders, of a jacketed intake pipe formed by a lower and twoupper sections, inlet means from the cylinder jackets to the jackets ofthe upper pipe sections, outlet means from the jacket of one of saidupper sections, and communicating means between the jacket of the lowerpipe section and each of the upper sections.

2. In a hydrocarbon motor the combination with the water'jacketedcylinders, of a jacketed intake pipe formed by a lower and two,` uppersectlons, inlet means from the cylinder jackets to the jackets of theupper pipe sections, outlet means from the jacket of one onlyof saidupper sections, and pass-V ages connectingthe jacket of the lowersection .with the jackets of the upper sections.

3. In a hydrocarbon motor the combination with the water jacketedcylinders, of a jacketed intake pipe formed by a lower and two uppersections, inlet means from the cylinder jackets to the jackets of theuppery of the upper sectlons.

4. In a hydrocarbon motor, the combination with a series of waterjacketed. cylinders havin'g jacket outlets near the tops, of a jacketedintake pipe formed of two sections connected to the cylinders, and athird jacketed section connected to the other two, water inlet meansfrom the top of the cylinders to the jackets of the cylinder connectedsections, outlet means from the jacket of one of said two sections, andconnections from the jacket of the third section to each of the othertwo.

5. In a hydrocarbon motor, the combination with a series of waterjacketed cylinders having jacket outlets near the tops, of a jacketedintake pipe formed of two sections connected to the cylinders, and athird jacketed section'connected to the other two, water inlet meansfrom the top of the cylinders to the jackets of the cylinder connectedsections, outlet means from the jacket of one only of said two sections,connections from the jacket of the third section to each of the othertwo sections, and a pipe connecting the jackets of the said twosections. In testimony whereof I affix m si JESSE G. VIyNC nature.
